I Still Hate Cats [Paperback]

Skip Morrow (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: September 1, 2000

I Still Hate Cats is the 20th anniversary edition of the original New York Times bestsellers, The Official I Hate Cats Book and the Second Official I Hate Cats Book, published in 1980 and 1981. In this new book Morrow has redrawn in full color, his favorite selections of those timeless cartoons. If you happen to be of the new generation of "cat lovers" and "cat haters" who are unfamiliar with Skip's previous books, the illustrations can best be described as portraying man's "strained" relationship with his cat and his subsequent fantasies of revenge.

Skip Morrow's whimsical satire is if often said to be aimed more directly at doting cat lovers, than at their misbehaving felines.

From the Publisher

"In 1980 Skip Morrow astonished the publishing community with the instant success of his irreverently hilarious Official I Hate Cats Books. He became a member of a very small group of authors to have two books appear simultaneously on The New York Times bestseller list, igniting a fire storm of controversy, commentary, and creative copycats worldwide.

In this 20th anniversary edition, Morrow now revisits his favorite illustrations from the notorious humor classics that started all the fuss. They appear here redrawn in full color for a whole new generation of "cat haters" and "cat lovers" to laugh and hiss over for many years to come."

4.0 out of 5 stars Hilarious book, March 20, 2001

By

This review is from: I Still Hate Cats (Paperback)

I very much enjoyed the "I Still Hate Cats" book by Skip Morrow. Although some of the things in the book are a bit cruel and one wouldn't want to actually wish such a circumstance on a cat, this is just a comic book, and a hilarious one at that. One of the pictures shows an elementary school teacher teaching her kids about subtraction. On a table in front of the classroom, are two cats sitting, one more laying on his back after having been knocked out by the teacher (who is holding a hammer). The teacher is pointing to the blackboard demonstrating her lesson that "3 - 1 = 2". The book is pricier than it needs to be (it could have been printed in black and white instead of in color for a cheaper price), but I think the earlier "I Hate Cats" books are out of print. I bought this book since I thought the original "I Hate Cats" book was one of the funniest I had seen, and I didn't own it. So if one has a cruel sense of humor, and might enjoy seeing hapless felines in uncomfortable situations, this is a good book to get.

4.0 out of 5 stars An often funny and always cruel book, December 26, 2000

This review is from: I Still Hate Cats (Paperback)

This book contains wordless cartoons of cruelty against cats. Some of them have a "far side" quality (like a cat about to go into the frier at a diner for dogs), but most of them are simply cruel. I love black humor, but it is a genre hard to manage because sometimes it is confussed with plain cruelty. "I still hate cats" is sometimes too cruel to be funny.

Some examples you will find: a) A piñata replaced by a cat b) A scientific hitting a cat in the head with a hammer, while keeping a tally up to nine c) A cat to be placed in a bathtub full of water. Oh, the cat have a radio tied on the back (and plugged to the wall)

The cartoons are in color and the paper is glossy. However, there is not eight dollars worth of material (you can finish the book in less than fifteen minutes). You can received more laughs for your money with other purchases.

But, if you are looking for a gift just to irritate that cat lover in your life, this is the book.
